2018 Keynote Speaker: Elaine Guidero

Elaine is a geographer at the U.S. Geological Survey, doing cartographic design and research for The National Map and other projects. She earned her doctorate in 2016 from Penn State, with a dissertation about the intersection between cartography and typography, and how different fonts bring their own personalities to maps.

No job or project, especially in GIS and cartography, is without its pitfalls and pratfalls. I’ve encountered my fair share of them throughout my career so far. From GIS fails to things that I could have done better, I’ll share not just the finished products, but the missteps along the way.
